Do you believe tools can make you 10x more productive?

Systems make you productive. Not tools. One thing I like about the Building a Second Brain system is that it's tool-agnostic.

The problem is, there are so many tools out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed.

I have tried many of these tools, so let me save you some time by showing you the ones I use most:

• Read-later: Reader by Readwise

• Notes: Obsidian

• To-do list: Todoist

• Whiteboard: Miro

• Calendar: BusyCal

• Email: Gmail

Many of these tools have advanced features and integrations. It's easy to get carried away by building something complex. But, this will also lead to overwhelm.

If you're new to Building a Second Brain, my advice would be–just start, and keep it simple!
